Primary were an Australian electronic rock band which formed in 1995 the Fonti brothers: Jamie on keyboards and Sean on bass guitar (both ex-Caligula), and Connie Mitchell on lead vocals. According to Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane, the group were "Dominated by South African-born [Mitchell]'s hyperactive and full-frontal vocals, with thunderous electronic rock underpinning the music, Primary sounded like a techno Skunk Anansie. Jamie Fonti coined the phrase 'Hybrid Electronica Rock' in order to describe the band's sound." The group released two albums, This Is the Sound (June 1999) and Watching the World (28 May 2001). They disbanded late in 2003.

History

Primary was formed as a techno rock group in 1995 in Sydney by the Fonti brothers, Jamie on keyboards and Sean on bass guitar (both ex-Caligula),[1] and Connie Mitchell on lead vocals.[2] The Fontis had played in My Heart Bleeds for You,[1] a mid-1980s punk, hardcore band, then in Caligula from 1989 to 1994. Sean was also in Massappeal[1](1988–90), and Def FX (1995–97). The Fonti brothers had met Mitchell in a recording studio in 1994, while they recorded demo tracks for Caligula.[3] When that project finished Jamie and Mitchell started writing tracks together while Sean was a member of Def FX.[3] Their first musical project was a contribution to the soundtrack of the 1997 Australian film Blackrock.[4][5][6]

Primary's first recording, a five-track extended play, Vicious Precious,[7] produced by Paul McKercher and Ollie J, was released in March 1998,[2] and featured Paul Wheeler (ex-Icehouse) on drums.[8] and John Bousfield on guitar. At the ARIA Music Awards of 1998, "Vicious Precious" was nominated for ARIA Award for Breakthrough Artist – Single.

Nick Launay produced the band's first full-length album, This Is the Sound, which appeared in June that year on WEA/Warner.[2] Airplay for the lead-in singles had been confined to the Triple J network,[9] and the album peaked in the ARIA Albums Chart top 40.[10] Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane, felt it was "an accomplished album that boasted state-of-the-art production values, and a batch of reverberating tracks."[2] He described how the group were "Dominated by South African-born [Mitchell]'s hyperactive and full-frontal vocals, with thunderous electronic rock underpinning the music, Primary sounded like a techno Skunk Anansie. Jamie Fonti coined the phrase 'Hybrid Electronica Rock' in order to describe the band's sound."[2]

Jason Howard replaced Bousfield on lead guitar and made his performance debut in April 1999.[2] They became known for their energetic live shows, with Mitchell's on-stage presence and costumes a talking point. Their second album, Watching the World, was released on 28 May 2001.[11] Australian music journalist, Ed Nimmervoll, declared it to be his Album of the Week: "they kept the focus on the songs. In the end Primary offer music with many layers of interest. [Mitchell]'s lyrics are a strong counterpoint to the depth of the band's music."[12]

The band announced on their website on 24 April 2002 that they were recording demos for a proposed third album.[13] The band eventually recorded enough material for another album, in a more straightforward rock sound, but the band broke up before it could be released.[14] They played a final gig in November 2003 at the Annandale Hotel.[15] Mitchell joined Sneaky Sound System in 2004 ahead of their self-titled album.[16]

Charge alaire (oiseau)

Les ailes plus longues de l'urubu à tête rouge lui donnent une charge alaire moins importante, comparativement à l'urubu noir. Pour un article plus général, voir charge alaire. La charge alaire d'un oiseau (rapport entre sa masse et la surface portante de ses ailes) varie beaucoup selon les espèces. En général, la charge alaire augmente avec la taille de l’oiseau, les plus gros oiseaux ayant une charge alaire plus grande. Ceci résulte du fait que la masse de l’oiseau augmente au ...
